How can I connect to a Windows DDE Server via Python?

This is fairly easy using the dde module that comes with Mark Hammonds 
ever invaluable win32all distribution.

Once you've grabbed it look at files in the win32/demos/dde subdirectory 
of your Python directory.  You'll see connecting as a DDE client is a 
piece of cake.
I'm not sure how warm/hot DDE links can be implementing using it but 
static requests and Execs are no problem.
